Should there be a category for Classic Hotties? For some reason I think of Ji Sung as the K-drama version of a classic 1950s American car. He doesn’t have an idol’s face; he’s not sleek; he’s wild and gritty. He’s not a smooth-running Rolls-Royce. He usually chooses parts in K-dramas that take viewers on some kind of crazy ride!
I would argue that he DOES have an idol’s face, but maybe that’s just me. At the same time, he does also give off that ‘classic’ feel, particularly when it comes to the roles he plays.
Glad to see that you found a guy I’ve been watching for about 2 years now. You’ve GOT to watch him in Well Intended Love - season 1 AND 2 and also watch him in Dance of the Phoenix. He’s the ML in both of those. He plays a vampire in I Cannot Hug You but he’s only in a few episodes on that one. It’s one of his early shows.
Xu Kaicheng’s ‘Boss Ling’ character in Well Intended Love had me laughing so hard my sides hurt and Dance of the Phoenix was very good.
(Season one is on Netflix - Watch season 1 first)
I Cannot Hug You is the first time I saw Xing Zhao Lin - I liked him in Eternal love 1 & 2 and You are My Destiny the best so far.
I saw your review of Cat in Dali Temple! I’m seeing that some people don’t like the ending so I am curious as to what is going to happen! He still had me at “Hello!”
Someone should start a ‘bad pickup lines’ thread so we can all groan.
I haven’t got there yet so I have no idea. I will find out when I get to the end. It’s not the first time there’s been a "WTF* ending on a cdrama. I am not going to cheat and peek at the last episode either!
The biggest WTF ending was on AGGHH I can’t remember the name of it! That ending made me mad! It was a period dress fantasy. The girl was from the future sent into a world where the cultivators were not as good as they should have been. Bunch of fighting this way that that, a few good sneaky things, etc,… It ended up with the FL, WHILE WAITING FOR HER HUBBY TO ARRIVE, wearing her red veil over her face at the wedding- The second ML arrived and took her back to her time. I was like WTF Did they run out of money for the show? (That’s what happened to Monty Python’s Holy Grail) Like from where in the heck did the second ML come from? He’d been gone awhile!
Gawd! That comment reminds me of when I was about??? 8 years old? 1964. ALL the girls were in love with the Beatles! Because I was the youngest I never could get dibs on Paul. I always got stuck with Ringo.
I would agree. Not that he can’t put on the smoldering face, but most pics I saw when I was looking him up show a cute side. In fact, when I added him to the deadly dimple club, I wrote that he had a face full of sunshine because he just radiates light, especially when he smiles.
